Fundraisers:

Participating in fundraisers is optional, but they can help defray some of the cost of the trip. Here is a list of the upcoming fundraisers:

Concession Stands:
We run several concession stands starting at the beginning of the school year and finishing in early March. The sign ups for the available concession work times are posted outside of Mr. Zdrojewski's door. All net proceeds are divided among anyone who worked during the entire season. It doesn't matter the number of times you participated, the proceeds are divided equally among everyone who worked. We are needing workers now, so please sign up.

Bottle Drive:
The bottle drive is tentatively set for Saturday, November 25th. Cara Festian has agreed to be the chairperson for the 2017 event. It will begin at 9 am and end at 2 pm. Proceeds from bottle returns will be divided among those who participate in the drive. You must be there the entire time from 9-2 to get your "piece of the pie." More information to follow.

Magazine Sale:
It will start the end of October with more information to follow.

Santa's Workshop:
This event is tenatively scheduled for Saturday, December 16. Students will need to participate in 3 activities in order to receive their share of the proceeds from this event. They are required to help set up on Friday night. They must bring something to sell at the Bake Sale, and they must work a time slot on Saturday. Crafters or anyone may have a table of their own set up out in the hallway to earn their own private donations, however, these tables and crafts are not allowed in where the students are shopping. We offer free coffee to parents while their children shop, but parents can also buy soup/chili and bake sale items.

McDonald's Pancake Breakfast:
This is usually held in February. We are looking for a person to chair this event.
